Anyone know of a Pontiac Solstice Forum?

The GF has a '06 Solstice, N/A motor with 32K on the clock. Peppy little sucker and not a bad build. Has a buzz in the dash, which I fixed.

Was at Wally World yesterday and a tight turn into the parking slot I heard a nice growl and click. Same, same on backing up....crap, CVs at 32K? Anywhoo, no notice of recall, only one wanker posting about noise after a dealer service.....she has an extended service contract so the fix is on them.

So, anyone know of any forums on this type of ride?

Go ahead....I doan drive it. I just ride in the #2 slot with my man card in my hip pocket and Dachshund on the lap.....

She drives it like she stole it......almost got nailed by a Julio in a Mommyvan coming out of a driveway. She gave him the flying fickle finger......

Oh yeah, 'cause riding beyotch in a girl's car is way, way cooler than driving it!

Okay, all teasing aside, a Solstice is actually pretty cool. They are a GM parts bin car which is great news for performance upgrades from ye olde wrecking yards. I don't know of any forums specifically for the Solstice, but I'm sure they exist. I've seen Solstice groups on another forum I visit but it's not a real active group.

You're looking for the DYI/hot-rod/see how fast it can go group.

Bite my crank.....it's the girlfriend's ride....."top cars for gay men"....what a douche nozzle. I'd consider getting a flight to Denver to kick yer nutz, except the GF wants to do it first.

Oh and Angela.....she won't let me drive it. But I do the wrenching.....I takes it out in trade.....

It's ok if you're gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Solsticeforum.com is the largest, most active; there's also kappaforum.com for all Kappa platform cars (Solstice, Sky, Opel, Vauxhall...).

Sounds like it might the her diff - I've read the 1st year cars had problems with those.

Solstice forum may be the largest but they sure don't do squat when it comes to new members. 5 days and still waiting on validation.

Would love to know if it's the diff or the CVs.....got a 7 year warranty, guess I'll just take it to the Stealer.
